Q. Complete the square. Fill in the number that makes the polynomial a perfect-square quadratic.z2−18z+
Identify Coefficients: Identify the coefficients of the polynomial z2−18z+_ to compare with the standard quadratic form ax2+bx+c. a=1 (coefficient of z2) b=−18 (coefficient of z) c=? (the number we need to find)
Calculate Completing Square Value: To complete the square, we need to add (2b)2 to the polynomial. In this case, b is −18.Calculate (−218)2 to find the value that completes the square.(−218)2=(−9)2=81
Add to Complete Square: The number that completes the square is 81. So the polynomial becomes a perfect-square quadratic when we add 81. The completed square form is z2−18z+81.
